...unguarded Ram waiting on the far post, but his header went just wide and the Crimson was able to hold on for the win. “They created some havoc for us in the second half that we had to deal with,” said Harvard head coach John Kerr. “I am really happy that we got the right result here.” One of the reasons the Crimson got that result was freshman Alex Chi. Less than 10 minutes into the contest, Chi scored the first goal of his collegiate career. The tally...
...Nable's best moves was to persuade Matthew Johns, the former Test five-eighth and now television personality, to play Newtown coach Jack Cooper. Johns is one of those people who can make you laugh just by standing there. Acting, he doesn't always quell the twinkle in his eye but still convinces as the stressed-out, blood-and-guts mentor whose time, like Grub's, is almost up.

The Wallabies' Cup-winning coach of '99, Rod Macqueen, questioned whether the Blacks had the versatility to play more than one style. French mentor Bernard Laporte has accused them of playing to the limit of the rules and exploiting weak refereeing...
...mostly hot air, which All Blacks coach Graham Henry has been cutting through in the build-up to the Blacks' opening match against Italy in Marseilles on Sept. 8. Henry sounds like the opposite of a man in denial: "The success of our rugby team is important to the psyche of the nation - we understand that, we agree with that and we live by that." Under the former headmaster, the All Blacks have been potent, winning 38 of their 43 matches since the last Cup. In that time, they've dominated the two sides ranked immediately below them, Australia...
